CarTell take
We haven't driven the Corvette yet. On paper, Z06 is limited to the 12-car Bathurst edition. Stingray R Launch Edition ($235,000 +ORC, 50 units for AU and NZ) was a separate limited run. Confirm warranty terms with GMSV.
Why consider it
- Mid-engine V8 performance with a factory right-hand-drive build
What to know
- MY26 prices jumped up to $25,990 and the 2LT Convertible is gone
